Last week you couldn't look at any English publication without seeing headlines about Paul Pogba going to Real Madrid. The way the newspapers were speaking, it almost seemed inevitable (hyperbole is one of the English media's strong suits after all). Over the past five days there's been almost nothing written about Paul Pogba. That's weird. He's …

There's been a lot made of Paul Pogba recently. I laid out my thoughts on the matter last week. Pogba is United's best player by far. If he left the team would objectively be worse. He's also being covered extremely unfairly by the media and the fans are seemingly trying to run him out of …

The Daily Mirror: Anthony Martial's Manchester United future is secure – because the forward is viewed as the club's "Pele" by co-chairman Joel Glazer. Martial's focus and commitment have been called into question by current United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his predecessor Jose Mourinho. Both expressed concerns about the France striker's attitude in training …

When the Paul Pogba to Real Madrid rumors first started my initial reaction was to just ignore them.

In the month of April only Scott McTominay and Juan Mata scored goals from open play for Manchester United.

Last week when McTominay scored against Huddersfield I tweeted the following. …

Anthony Martial's season has come full circle. It started over the summer, when Jose Mourinho showed an open disdain for him and wanted to sell him. It's ending with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer dropping him from matchday squads and reportedly looking to sell him. Somehow somewhere between these two points Martial signed a new five year …

When I woke up this warning I did not expect I'd be going to war for Luke Shaw today but here we are. This morning the excellent people over at @UtdArena directed their ire at Luke Shaw. https://twitter.com/utdarena/status/1125735759317798913 There's a lot to unwrap here. Is Luke Shaw overpaid? Absolutely. There are certainly better left backs …

The season is drawing to a close which means transfer rumors are going to be springing up everywhere. Dybala seems a little different if only because I hadn't heard it yet, but stumbled across it after googling his name.
